Ingredion Incorporated reported a 26% decline in reported EPS to $2.22 in Q1 2026, mainly due to operational challenges at its Argo facility affecting the U.S./Canada segment.

The company lowered its full-year 2026 EPS guidance to a range of $9.60 to $10.30, citing ongoing operational headwinds and macroeconomic uncertainties.
